Help with amplify weak sectors

[frombauer]

I have the LG GCE-8160B, firmware 1.02. (is it worth it to flash it to 2.01?)

I have read many posts here about enabling or not amplify weak sectors in clone CD.

So, to backup SD 2 and 2.51 games should I enable or disable the feature?

Another question: can I make a test burn with a CD-RW? Will it duplicate the protection or do I have to use CD-Rs?

Thanks guys.

Update: Just burned a CD-RW with that SD 2.51 test file. Tested with 2 CD-ROMs (Creative 52x and Sony 52x), and my other burner (Plextor 12/10/32TA), all of them copied the file (test.efm)to my hard drive, no errors. I feel confident now!
